A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world.

The lad wandered through the desert for forty days, and finally came upon a beautiful castle, high atop a mountain. It was there that the wise man lived.

Rather than finding a saintly man though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity: tradesmen came and went, people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of the world.

The wise man conversed with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn to be given the man’s attention. The wise man listened attentively to the boy’s explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn’t time just then to explain the secret of happiness.

He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours. “Meanwhile I want to ask you do do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. ‘As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill.”

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was. “Well,” asked the wise man, “did you see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchments in my library?”

The boy was embarrassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.

“Then go back and observe the marvels of my world,” said the wise man.

Relieved, the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around him, the beauty of the flowers, and the tasted with which everything had been selected. Upon returning to the wise man, he related in detail everything he had seen.

“But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.

“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you.” said the wisest of wise men. “The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon”

    This video is excellent and informative. In less than four minutes you brilliantly answered a question 15+ articles on the internet couldn't do. Well done.

  • Cheryl Mayers

    I can't find anyone who will do power raking in my area of Michigan. The companies I call say aeration is better but we NEED to have our lawn power raked because we've mulched for so many years the dead grass won't budge and the fertilizer won't work properly therefore we have too many weeds now!!!

  • andrew garand

    Great vid!  I need to aerate, dethatch and overseed. What is the proper order? I assume, dethatch, core plug then overseed…then fert, yes?  thanks!!

  • Ricky Ric

    Hey Stanley! Thank You for taking time out of your busy day to make this video! I'm your 3,220 th. like. I have a question for you. Do you recommend plug aeration prior to detaching or visa versa? I was thinking about detaching prior to core aeration so I don't end up pulling all of the plugs through the lawn until I saw your video. I like the idea of the plugs breaking down and settling back into the ground.
    However it may drive me crazy seeing all of the plugs laying around. So maybe I should do the core aeration first and detaching 2nd so it breaks up the plugs easier?
    Whats your take on this? I appreciate your recommendation for my question.

  • Nathan Turner

    I've found that removing weed's in your lawn with a about six inch lockblade knife is a good way to get your grass to dominate it's growing bed & if the weed's are'nt removed that some weed's will try to take over the lawn. I found that once a weed begins to grow that it leaves small bare spot's in your lawn after it is removed. If you remove weed's about every week before you mow it can successfully help your lawn & kill enough of the weed's to gain control of the problem. Using a regular rutine of removing Weed's is good for your lawn. My warning about removing weed's this way is that it's physically tough. Removing weed's seem's to work well if you take out a percent of them at a time in a random pattern from the entire lawn each time you mow.

    I currently do a combination service that is usually requested in the spring and occasionally in the fall. I dethatch, go over it with my bag mower at a lower setting making sure to pick up all the thatch, and then go over it with a spike style aerator. What are your thoughts on this approach?

  • Eric Entenberg

    was looking at a toro stand on areator untill i saw your video about the aera avation i have an older vantrac might make the switch to aeraavation
